Improved bag-holder



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIOE.

' JOSEPH I. PEYTON AND CHARLES N. WALLACH, OF WASHINGTON, D. C.

|MPROVED BAG-HOLDER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 89,500, dated. April 27, 1869.

To all whom fit 'may concern.-

Be it known that we, J OsEPH I. PEYTON- and CHARLES N. S. WALLAOH, both of the city of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bag-Holders, Of which the fol lowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The improvement herein claimed consists in combining a suspending-frame, a iiarin g band, and a detached clamping-ring, between which and the band the bag to be filled is clasped, as hereinafter fully described.

In the accompanying` drawing Our improved holder is shown with a bag attached, in perspective, with a part broken away in front.

RodsAA are connected attop with astraight vertical rod, B, terminating in an eye, a. The rods A A are secured at their lower ends to the sides of a flaring band, C, widening from vtop to bottom. The rod B is secured to the back Or inner side of the band. The eye a serves to hang this support upon a hook or nail. A narrow detachable ring, c, is made of a size to t around the band, but is smaller than the lower part of the band. This ring is provided with projections to press it upon or remove it from the band.

The frame being suspended from a suitable support, the mouth of the bag to be filled is passed around the band C, and the ring c pressed over the bag, thus clamping and holding it securely. Strain upon the bag draws down the ring c, and causes it to clamp still tighter upo'n the bag and holder.

As the sustaining-rods are secured to the.

band at the sides and back only, it will be seen that an unobstructed 'space of half the size of the band is left, which admits of the bag being readily filled. The front Of the band also serves as a rest for the measure in filling the bag.

rlhe sustaining-rods may, if desired, be connected with cach other over the center of the band C, and the eye by which the holder is hung formed at their point of connection; but we prefer the construction shown in the drawlng.

W'e propose to use our improved holder in connection with a steelyard, for which purpose it is excellently adapted to lill thc bags until they contain the requisite weight of grain, &c.

IVe make no claim to the devices shown in the patent of E. Reynolds of November 28, 1865, which shows a suspending spring-frame; but. Y

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in ythe bag-holder, of the suspending-frame, the Haring band, and the clamping-ring, these parts being constructed, arranged, and operated as herein set forth.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names.

JOS. I. PEYTON. C. N. S. WALLACH.
